Running command on task startup

Question

Im trying to run a command in conemu when I open up a console from a task. For example, I want to open a bash terminal and run node -v to see my current node version. My Current task commands look like this:

set "PATH=%ConEmuBaseDirShort%\wsl;%PATH%" & %ConEmuBaseDirShort%\conemu-cyg-64.exe --wsl -cur_console:pm:/mnt node -v

This opens a bash terminal and executes node -v, but then closes the process, giving me the error

Root process was alive less than 10 sec, ExitCode=0

My expected result is that the output of node -v would be visable, and under that would be a working bash console.

v12.6.0
root@COMPUTER:/mnt/c# _

I had it like this in my previous environment so I know it's possible, but I don't remember how I did it.

Actually, it's not clear what behavior do you expect.

You can suppress this error by adding the flag -new_console:n.

This is more a feature than an error; if your process runs and ends in less than ten seconds, ConEmu will keep the tab open until you press a key, just so you can see the message it produces.

More info here!

Edit: You're also able to change the amount of time before this message shows in the settings, or set it to never/always show

Edit 2: To force a 'Press Enter or Escape to close the console' message, append -new_console:c

I guess I should have specified, I would like the results of the command to actually stay up, not just bypass the error and close the console.

Sorry, I've updated my question to clarify what I'm looking for.
